Hmmm… alright so if I had to pick a few adjectives to describe myself they'd be artsy/witchy/faerie/queer/poly/creature. I enjoy being fluid with my gender, sexuality, and identity in general. I aspire to live gracefully within this constant state of creativity and transformation. Open communication is a big priority of mine within relationships with friends and lovers.

Just moved here from Oakland to get my MFA at C.U.

Working in the studio, working in the studio, working in the studio, grading papers, working in the studio........

Learning how to animate hair blood and nails and sewing into celluloid, exploring phosphorescent paint, (I know I'm late on that train), making spider webs in unsuspecting objects.

I mostly make art films that are focused on film being a therapeutic medium. I've been working on a documentary for the past three years. In a nut shell its basically a compilation of "shamanic" (ugh I hate that word) experiences from different parts of the world told from the perspectives of a few different women.

Trying to Learn magic while dodging cultural appropriation.

When I'm not doing this I like working with metal and doing multi media collage.

I also love sound recording, and music. I play the ukelele and kalimba. I love to sing.

I'm really into collecting musical instruments. Right now I'm saving up for a harp and imbira, lire is also pretty bad ass.

Music, art, cooking, baking, dreaming, hypnosis, meditation, Creating something cool with limited materials, reading tarot, ritual, organizing queer pagan events, homeopathy, gardening, hugs, laughter, massage, teaching art, dissecting social culture through popular media, (I did my undergrad in film after all).

I'm pretty short. Also my recently shaved head.

Latest books: Psychomagic by Jodorsky, Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy. Also my favorite book of all time is The Neverending Story, not kidding it's that good.

Movies: This is a hard one because studying and working in film has made it difficult for me to enjoy most of them. This is because I'm all too aware of the multi levels of discrimination within the industry. This doesn't mean I cant have fun watching something completely mind-numbing sometimes, but I do have less patience for brain wash.

I mostly like documentary, foreign, and art films, the ones that most people think are weird or boring. Oh, and Queer International Cinema! Some of my favorite movies are: Cave of Forgotten Dreams, The Shadow of our Forgotten Ancestors, Harold and Maude, anything Kurosawa, Fantastic Planet, Microcosmos, HolyMountain,, Eraserhead, Baraka. I'm a big Mya Deren, Stan Brackhage, Joseph Cornell, Ron Rice, Chick Strand, to name a few.

My musical tastes are kind of all over the place. I like soul, folk, funk, conscious hiphop, noise, drone/ambient, world, jazz, psytrance....I love the Cocteau Twins, Alexai and Naima, Coco Rosie, Devandra Barn Heart, Tom Waits, Biosphere, Coil, Psycovsky, Steve Roach, Tin Hat Trio, Alice Coltrane, AliFarke Toure, Fever Ray, Androcell, Kaya Project, Dead Can Dance, Mubali, PJ Harvey, Bjork, Erykah Badu, Goa Gil, Hu Huun Tu.

It's really mostly about good friends.

Life in other areas of the world, where I want to travel next, my next step in my creative endeavors, environmental, cultural, and societal issues, transcending gender, personal transformation, new and creative ways to heal ourselves and the planet, yup I said that.

In my studio. A music performance or art show is usually my first choice if I'm looking to go out and have fun. Sometimes I like dancing. Workshops, crafting, and skill sharing is awesome.

I used to live in a short bus.
